Special K

I get by with a little help from my friends. -John Lennon

About Me

Climb up over the top.
Survey the state of the soul.
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying.
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it.
Take control
and inevitably wind up
Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside of you.
~Jason Mraz "Song for a Friend"

I am a work in progress. Each day I strive to become the person that I want to be. I have great friends and an incredible family that support me along the way. I have a low tolerance for drama, selfishness, and stupidity. I wish more parents would actually parent their kids; that politicians would avoid politics and actually get shit done; and that Americans would become more aware of the rest of the world.
